I got TAGGED by Angela!

So, I need to post 4 things about me on my blog. Okay, I guess I will put down things that most people would NOT know about me.

1. I love to go camping. Can be in a trailer (my husband likes this way best LOL) or can be in a tent or roughing it all the way with just a backpack and sleeping bag! It's got to be in the woods though with water of some kind (creek, river or lake) near by.
2. I am a city girl by birth but would love to move to the country. Used to go on vacations to upper Idaho on my Grandma's Dairy Ranch. Loved it (not so much the Cow Pies, LOL) but everything else was great. Come to think about it, I really didn't go for the mountain lion screaming while I was hiking on their path either...have you EVER heard one of those??? Me? only once and that was enough! I don't think I would go so far as to have a farm, just a little cabin or A frame in the woods. But, it would definitely have to have DSL hook up. And cable or have a really good shopping area near by...nah - I can get everything that I need from the internet!!! Well, maybe when we retire or win the Lottery!
3. I hate to cook but love to make desserts! Anything with chocolate or that is really good and sweet. Can you tell I am a chocoholic? Oh yeah! Hey, have you tried the new Mint 3 Musketeer's they have out now? I have got to figure a way to put that in some type of dessert!
4. I guess the only other thing that I do all the time is my work. I am an insurance agent. I know, I know. If you would have told me 30 years ago that I would be in any type of insurance let alone Health, I would have said you were NUTS. But then again, if Ms. Marks knew I typed on a computer all day long she would have fainted away (I REALLY hated her Typing class in high school-frozen fingers during first class was a great excuse!). But back to the insurance thing...well, I have been in Life or Health insurance for over 20 years now and I really like it. I am mostly in the admin side of it, but it is really interesting. There is somthing new everyday - not the same old boring stuff!

Okay - this was a lot harder than I thought it would be! I almost ran out of things that most would not know about me from my blogg. Hummm. Now who can I tagg in return???

Well, bye till next time!

Nov to Jan - Happy New Year!

Boy, have I had a busy two months. Of course, it's always like that for most people from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

I did my booth at the Cat Show mid Nov. which was in itself sort of a sucess. Only sold 3 jackets but got an order for 10 custom jackets for a cattery in Clebourn Tx. Sandi breeds sphinx kittens and needed an actual jacket so they would not get cold during the winter and summer (we just have to have air conditioning in Texas!). Hopefully these will fill her need for those little babies and provide me with a new outlet for cat jackets of a different type.

Had Thanksgiving and Christmas at our home this year. With work and gas prices, it is way to much to go to California for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but maybe next year. Very quiet but not much relaxing around our house.

I had 3 dolls to make before Christmas and one of those went into the TAODA "Flights of Fancy" show at the Houston Center for Contempory Crafts. I finally got "Sunday Afternoon Flight" done the day before she was due. Had a problem with her "friend's" body and could not find what I wanted to complete it. I will post a picture of her later...she is a Christmas present for Susan, so I don't want to blow the hold thing until I'm sure that she has seen it in the show. Susan was supposed to be there tonight (our opening reception) but I had to leave before she got there. All of the dolls in the show turned out great...the TAODA women who set up did a fantasic job over at the center. KUDO's to you all!

David took his kitties home on Christmas night. I sure miss those little girls but it was time. David said that I may get Ivy back though. Apparently she is afraid of Males. She was skittish to being with but I guess I cuddled her too much. They both have hit a growth spurt and are not so little anymore. Ivy is now 11 months old and Cleo 10 months. They are both in a small walking jacket and Ivy will be in a Medium before too long. Can't wait to get her back around here again. Cleo will be coming over on the weekends to visit along with her "new" friend - a little white chocolate point Siamese mix - he sure is cute. But then again I think ALL kitties are cute. Just call me crazy for cats!

Now that the holidays are over, maybe we can all get back to a normal pace around here again. I actually sat down and read some of my book that I started before Thanksgiving. Got more reading done in two nights that the whole two months before. :)

With that note, I will sign off for now. Everyone have a great and happy new year!
